The mixture is stirred for 16 hrs then diluted with ether, washed with water, brine, then dried (MgSO4), filtered and concentrated. The residue is purified by chromatography on silica gel; elution with EtOAc:heptane (25:75) gives 3.67 g of the product. 1H NMR (CDCl3) δ 7.45-7.40 (m, 2H), 7.35-7.25 (m, 3H), 5.20 (s, 1H), 3.65 (s, 3H), 0.90 (s, 9H), 0.10 (s, 3H), 0.05 (s, 3H); MS: m/z 281 (M++1)
